2004 Tennessee Titans season
The 2004 Tennessee Titans season was the franchise's 35th season in the National Football League, the 45th overall and the 8th in the state of Tennessee. The team attempted to improve upon their previous output of 12–4, but they failed to improve on their 2003 12–4 record, and only won five games, making the record a 5-11 for that year,[1] and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2001.
